• Visual Basic using OLE Automation (GetObject) in a web service

  Hi everyone, I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum :-\ I am having trouble using the GetObject method to access the "handle" of an application through a web service. What I have working right now is the ability of a regular Visual Basic .NET program to access and control the program. ExtendApp = GetObject(, "Extend.Application") That works fine and dandy through a Visual Basic Application. I need to port this code to WSDL. The web service is on IIS on my local machine, as is the application I am attempting to control (Extend). Now when the above code is executed I get this error: System.Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.GetObject(String PathName, String C ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TextBox Format Question

  Hello! I am looking for a way to format the text in a textbox, either as the user enters it, or right after the user enters it. I want to format the text to display as currency. Thanks! This was the same question I came here to see if there was a better way. This is how I'm handling a similar need now. My form has several text boxes, so I used a generic code that I call from the AfterUpdate event for each text box that I want to display currency. Private Sub txtMyTextBox_AfterUpdate() TextToCurrency TextBoxName:="txtMyTextBox" End Sub Sub TextToCurrency(TextBoxName as String) If IsNumeric(Me.Controls(TextBoxName).value) = False And Me.Controls(BoxName).value <> "&q ...Show All

• SQL Server Prevent data being inserted twice

  I have a table with 3 columns: ID, Status, DateTime. I created a stored procedure to insert a staus value for each ID. This will run every hour. The DateTime stores the time, date when the Status was inserted. If the procedure was to be run a second time in hour window I do not want any Status to be inserted. Note: that I cannot rely on the procedure being run at exactly the right time - if it was scheduled to run on the hour (i.e at 1:00, 2:00, 3 :00 etc) but didn't run until 1:20 it sould still be able to run at 2:00. Does anyone know if there is anyway I can gaurd against this Niall: It sounds to me like what you want is to check before you add a record and verify that the datepart (hh, statusDateTime) does not ...Show All

• Windows Forms Hum..

  i'm using the Visual studio express 2005 I made a navigator... now i need to publish it to run in another machines and never works.. what i need to do and the others machines need to have the .NET Framework 2.0 if needs... have another way i'm starting now to work with the Visual studio... fyi - yes the machines that runs this application requires .NET Framework, there is no way around it as all the resources, exe entry points and so on are different in the .NET Framework. So if you created an app in .NET, you need the .NET Framework (main engine) to understand and run the application. There is no way around this. ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic transformation to upload flat files into database

  Hi, My scenario: I have 4 different flat files types each having different no. of column, order of columns etc. I want to upload all the 4 types into the same destination table in the SQL database. Before uploading I need to apply transformation to each column in the flat files. The transformations could be like 1) Multipying the source column by 100 2) Put an if condition for 2 source columns and then select one column to be copied into the destination. I have the flat files schema with me and also all the transformations that are required. Question: Can SSIS provide me with a component that can read the flat file schema and the transformations from the database and apply them to the source data and then upload it to ...Show All

• Visual Basic Can VB6 code be compiled in VS2005 and run native in Win2000 without requiring .NET framework?

  the win2000 server that the compiled dll will be running on does not allow .net2 framework to be installed. thus i wonder if it is possible to use VS2005 to compile the VB6 code into a dll that can run natively in win2000 server without installing the framework. any help will be much appreciated. thanks! If you are not able to install the framework on the server then you must revert back to VB6...Use vb6 to write your code and then to compile the dll! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Microsoft.Directx~

  Ok well I just got a new computer so I'm slowly moving everything over. I'm starting to notice that alot of my old projects have errors in them because of refrences seem to be missing. I'm not sure why this is... Any ideas why the Microsft.Directx one would be missing I thought it came with vbe.. Thanks in advanced.. you need to download the managed runtime/sdk files - I believe this would be the reason why its not being included in your project as when you load a project into VS, it will check all the dependancies/references added to see if it's available on your system.

• SQL Server Dimension Security

  Hi, is it possible to secure specific dimension I'd like to deny selected roles using certain dim. For example, pricing role shouldn't use Customer dim, Basic role should use just Date and Location dim. Could perspectives be used for that (specify dims/measures and grant access just to that perspective) or is there other way Obviously, I must be overlooking something, this is really basic requirement, isn't it... TIA, Radim Hi! Have a look at roles in the solution explorer. Right click on roles and explore the features. Perspectives are not a security feature. They are more about easier browsing/navigation.

• Visual Studio Team System Winforms Functional Testing

  Just curious, what experiences has anyone had with winforms Functional Testing tools. I'm particularly interested in something that plugs into VS for Testers (like TestPartner from Compuware). We're looking to make a decision ASAP for a big project. Hi, I'm really sorry not to be able to answer your question. We (VSTS edition for Testers) don't use any functional testing tools from our partners, but instead make use of unit testing and internal libraries. We will be providing our own functional testing tools in future releases, we're working on it. Thanks, David Gorena Elizondo [MSFT] VSTS ...Show All
